Camera on my blackberry won't open

Hi. I need help. The camera on my blackberry won't open.  It says "Could not start the camera.  Close other applications and try opening the camera again."  I have already closed the applications, tried to reset the settings, remove battery but still the camera won't open. 

I've had a nokia as my primary phone for the better part of a decade and the E71x is my first smart phone.  I've only had it a matter of days, but I've found the same problems with the camera as described above.  I've found two ways to fix/avoid the problem.
First: Just turn the phone off and restart.  In other words, all applications using the camera are terminated.
Second:  This is where I believe the problem is.  The phone was designed to multitask.  If you hold the home (house button) down you can toggle between open applications.  This is much like holding alt and pushing the tab button on a standard windows pc.  The inherent problem is that the camera function WHEN CLOSED IMPROPERLY is no longer accessible or recognized by the firmware.  In other words, if you just push the red/'end call' button to exit your camera session you will run into this problem.  The SOLUTION is that you MUST exit the camera operation EACH TIME.  Note:  If you start using your 'multitask' button you will find how this applies to all the programs we're used to on nokia phones.  So, as annoying as it is, while you are in the OPERATIONAL camera mode, push your soft left button (topmost left) to access the options menu.  Select your options and scroll to exit.  If you EXIT THE CAMERA MODE PROPERLY the phone will no longer consider it a running program.  THIS IS A GLITCH.  In the end it is a good habit to terminate programs that are not in use, but the problem with the camera access is testiment to firmware problems that we are more than likely not going to see a fix for.  This is a good phone and I've never been unsatisfied with owning a nokia, but this particular problem seems like an oversight in firmware.  With proper application closing in mind, you should never run into any major problems with this phone.  But like I've said, I've only had it a matter of days.

  • My camera freezes when i try reverse camera shutter closes then won't open

    i tried facetime i could see other side but they could not see me that is when i found out my camera freezes when i use reverse camera the shutter closes and won't open

    I had the same problem, and it happened within the first 2 weeks of purchasing the ipod. I had tried everything, including resetting it, restoring it, putting the app on the second homescreen, and trying other camera apps. Nothing worked. What I did was fill out a service request form on this website, and since it doesn't actually have anything for the camera, I submitted it under blank black screen and wrote about the camera problem in the notes area.
    I sent it out UPS (you won't have to pay, UPS knows the address and procedure well) on a Saturday, and got a brand new one sent to me and in my hands by Wednesday.
    If you send yours out, you'll want to back up all your apps and music etc on your computer before sending it, you will not get the same ipod back.
    But it was quick and worth it.
    I really hope this helps =]

  • Camera on iphone 4s won't open

    Had been working fine and now it won't open. Suggestions? Thanks!

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you have gone through ALL the above steps and are still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

  • CS6 - Camera Raw 7.1 won't open Nikon D7100 RAW files anymore

    I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 installed on it.
    I use CS6 and a few days ago, I started having trouble when loading files (JPEG & RAW files via Camera Raw). If I loaded more than two or three files, it would crash Photoshop. I tried loading JPEG directly into Photoshop, and it would still crash after 2 minutes. I tried restarting PS, reset my settings to default, restart my PC, and still the problem persisted. I checked the RAM and scratch disks, etc, there was no change with it. I decided I would reinstalled CS6. I did and now Photoshop works perfectly. I can even load JPEG via Camera Raw and it works without crashing. But then, my RAW files won't load via Camera Raw. I have the latest one from what I saw on Adobe's website  - Version 7.1.0.354. Others listed are DNG converter but I don't need that.
    The RAW files I am trying to open are from a Nikon D7100 camera and before, those same files would open with Camera Raw 7.1.
    Can someone please help me out on this. I am a bit desesperate cause I urgently need to edit files on Camera Raw because all my settings are saved on this.
    When I open a raw file, this is the message I get:

    In any event, Kathleen, you should NOT be using that obsolete ACR 7.1 version.  Besides, the Nikon D7100 is not supported by that version, as you have already been correctly told.
    Update to ACR 8.6 for CS6 ASAP.
    Going through the Help menu in Photoshop CS6 (Help > Updates) will/should update you automatically.  If for some reason,the auto updater fails, here's the link to the ACR 8.6 manual install:
    Windows
    CameraRaw_8_6_Installer.zip 
    One should never be using anything but the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw (ACR).
    Even if you were using a camera supported by your obsolete version, you are leaving a lot of image quality on the table now.  The rendering of the more recent versions of ACR is demonstrably superior, starting with 7.4.
    It is a shame to be using a decent camera—even if it's not a top of the line Nikon—and be in effect trashing some of its image quality.  Really.

  • The Camera on my E71x won't open.

    Yesterday i got my new Nokia E71x. I really liked it and all of it's features until i tried to open the camera and it refused to. Every time i go to open it, i get a message saying: Camera in use by another application. I don't know if this is just a little thing that i don't know how to fix, or a serious problem. I've looked up how fix this is the user guide and in the help menu on the phone. niether of them had any information supporting my problem. any help is much appreciated.

  • The shutter on my Front Facing Camera won't open.

    It would open when I had it on the rear facing camera, but it freezes when I click to switch.
    And then when I try to open the camera app, the shutter won't open, I'm guessing because it's in front facing mode.
    And even when I Skype, the app freezes if I try to use the front facing camera, so I have to use the rear facing camera for skype (which is annoying)
    I have the latest software update...
    Anyone know how to fix this?!

    Same Problem. Have had the iPod 4G since it first came out and everthing fine till now.
    To: just after installing IOS 5.0
    The camera(s) shutter will be closed for a while, unable to be used.
    Also, camera(s) will no longer switch between modes (shoting regular pic vs. shoting self)
    As others have mentioned, I also did the common things to try to fix this:
    - I closed the Camera app and restart it
    - I rebooted the iPad Touch 4G
    - I did a hard reset
    None of this helped.
    This happens on ALL the camera apps I have (four or five).
    Which makes me think it's a Bug
    Note: I'm posting this on all threads as I become aware of them.
    Update: A Partial Fix, I did the 'dramatic,' decision of doing a full Reset/Restore (System>General>Reset) and after that the front shutter now works again, so I can take pics of things in the normal way, but one of my camera apps made it clear it gets an ERROR when trying to switch to the self-photo/Facetime mode, so I'm avoiding doing that to the Apple Camera app.
    Since it started for me with a software change, and it got partially fixed with a system Reset I more firmly believe it must be a bug. It looks like a bug. It acts like a bug. It's a bug.
    Apple is a good company and if they get the word I'm sure they will do what's necessary to fix this problem. So keep talking it up on Discussions and send Feedback is all we can do and many of us don't have a Genius Store nearby (plus, it can't be good for business to be returning products because of software issues).
    On the plus side of the camera and new IOS5:
    I found out how to get that cool function to being able to use the camera right away, from the lock screen.
    Very nice. And very, very nice to be able to use the volume button to snap pics.

  • IPhone 4 camera shutter won't open when on WIFI

    SInce upgrading to iOS 5.0.1 on my iPhone 4 the camera app's shutter won't open when on wifi.  Works fine when on 3g.
    I reset the phone, restored the os, turned on an off location services, etc etc and nothing works.
    Anyone else have this issue or have a solution for this?

    Camera shutter PROBLEM SOLVED on my iPhone 4.   It looks the shutter locking is due to moisture.   I dried the phone using the cold very dry air from an air conditioner outlet for one hour.   The shutter began opening lickety split, better than ever before.(refrigerator or freezer wll not work!!!! - will not dry the phone internals) .   
    A guy on Youtube suggested drying out an iPhone 3 in the sun to solve Wifi operation problem and I decided to try on my iPhone 4.  The trick worked, camera shutter opens in about 1/2 second rather than 4 or 5 seconds or never.   To remove moisture from the phone, I suggest the A/C trick as more effective and safer than sun or hair drier.   Other possibility could be the 2 day jar of rice treatment.    RS in Kuala Lumpur

  • Aperture won't open in OS 10.5.5

    Hi people.
    Ok. I'm using an Intel Mac, with 3gb RAM. I've just taken some photo's with my Canon EOS 400D in RAW format. I plugged my camera in and flicked it on just so i could drop the images in iPhoto for some simple adjustments. The camera screen showed that it was 'BUSY'. After a few seconds, it just went to normal shoot mode screen. The camera wasn't mounting or anything. So i opened the EOS Utility piece of software that came with the camera, and it wouldn't open (in force quit, i was presented with "Program not responding"). Ok i thought, i thought i'd give Aperture a go. Aperture (2.1) wouldn't even open.
    I've done a bit of research, and found that there's an EOS Utility update which I'm currently downloading, which I'm hoping will solve the mounting issue, so iPhoto will recognise the camera. However, this shouldn't directly affect Aperture should it? Even with the camera disconnected, Aperture still won't open.
    I've had Aperture open in the last month, but i've not used it since i done the most recent 10.5.5 update. Anybody any ideas as to why this might be happening?
    All my software is up-to-date, the camera and leads are fine-and i've successfully used the camera and software to import RAW photo's previously. I'm a little stumped as to why this has happened. Is there an issue with the latest OS update that affect the compatibility with Aperture 2.1? I've re-downloaded Aperture, but no joy.
    Answers on a postcard....

    The first thing to try (IMO important) is not to import directly from your camera. Get a Firewire-connected card reader (USB works also but is slow on Macs) and use the Mac's Finder to copy images from the card to a folder on the Mac hard drive. My description below describes a CF card, but the workflow is the same for an SD card or whatever.
    I feel pretty strongly that camera-to-Aperture handling of original images puts originals at unnecessary risk. I suggest this workflow, first using the Finder (not Aperture) to copy images from CF card to computer hard drive:
    • Remove the CF card from the camera and insert it into a CF card reader. Faster readers and faster cards are preferable, and Firewire is much preferable to USB2.
    • Finder-copy images from CF to a labeled folder on the intended permanent Masters location hard drive.
    • Eject CF.
    • Burn DVD copies of the original images (optional backup step).
    • Eject DVDs (optional backup step).
    • From within Aperture, import images from the hard drive folder into Aperture selecting "Store files in their current location."
    • Review pix for completeness (e.g. a 500-pic shoot has 500 valid images showing).
    • Reformat CF in camera, and archive DVDs of originals off site.
    Note that the "eject" steps above are important in order to avoid mistakenly working on removable media.
    Good luck! The camera-to-Aperture workflow may or may not be the cause of your specific problem this time but in any event card-to-finder long term will provide a more solid workflow.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

    Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version?  . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
    Thanks.

  • After the 6.1 update on iphone 5 the camera virtual shutter won't open

    After the 6.1 update on iphone 5 the camera virtual shutter won't open so I cannot use the camera at all.
    I have tried most things suggested in the web like hard/soft shut down, reopen app, restore from backup. Any other suggestions? It should be a software problem right?

    The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
    Standard troubleshooting is:
    Re-boot the phone
    Restore the phone from your backup
    Restore the phone as a new device.
    One of the 3 should fix the problem.

  • Photo images from dig. cam [one is error and other won't open] questions

    My wife inserted the sd card in the card reader and copied about 70 photo image files to the Mac. The camera that took all the 70 photos was a Panasonic DMC-LZ5 but I don't think the camera model matters much here.
    For the first time, 2 of the many images seem to be corrupt. Mac X reports one photo image has an error while trying to open and reports the second image won't open.
    My main concern is whether or not to just delete the two error/corrupt jpg images. My other main concern is that I don't want to keep the two images if it could affect or corrupt my hd or Mac system in some way.
    I normally just trash corrupted files; however, in this case I went ahead and attempted to open both of the 2 troubled files myself later and they both opened up in Preview and didn't report any error or corruption. However, one of the jpg images defintely is corrupt when viewing it as the bottom of the image is definitely messed up. However, the other image now opens perfectly and looks fine to the eye as if nothing is wrong with it.
    Here is a link to the one photo image that isn't quite right [note the obvious distortion at bottom of image]. Link is http://mysite.verizon.net/vzenvo78/question595.jpg
    Further very relevant information: The SanDisk sd card that all the 70 images were on is a 1 gig card and the sd card seems to be a total loss. The sd card can't be initialized/formatted by disk utility and furthermore the sd card is no longer recognized by the Panasonic camera - the Panasonic camera won't even preview the images off the card or allow me to format the card even from the camera.

    Hello,
    I see what you are talking about. I just discovered this same exact problem on a friends G5 after he uploaded pics from his Leica.
    This is what I did: I ran Disk Utility from the system restore disc to verify and repair the drive. DU reported Volume Bitmap problems. DU was able to repair the disc. Next, I created a new user account and tried uploading the images from the camera to the G5 and it worked just fine. The images loaded like they should.
    I also reinstalled the drivers that came with the camera.
    Delete any files that your Mac reports as a problem. It's just not worth leaving them on the drive.
    So...... run Disk Utility from your system restore disc. If it reports errors, hopefully DU can repair them. If not, one option is to get DiskWarrior here:
    www.alsoft.com or TechToolPro4 here: www.micromat.com
    One other idea is how old is the card?
    Next idea is to create a new user acccount: System Prefs/Accounts. Try using that account to upload the same images. See if they upload as they should. If they do, then the issue isn't system wide, it's just in the other user account.
    Remember to always back up your images/audio/data often as you never know when you might need to do either an Archive or Erase and Reinstall.

  • PSCS6 no longer recognizes my CR2 files and will not open. Using Canon 5DMark III with updated Camera Raw . It has worked before but now won't open files from this camera.

    I have been able to open files from this camera before but still checked for latest Camera Raw download. Still won't open files from this camera. Opens files from my 60D just fine. I downloaded the latest and it has worked before. What the heck is going on?

    Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?
